Not in this thread, no, you haven't, which is why I mentioned that it was a different thread.

Yes, you *are* rude.
And you are considerably more rude with your continual "Arryn Knows Best" attitude. What's the point of this remarkable revelation?

As for derailing a thread, may I point out that I made one (small) comment in this regard (in passing) in this thread, and that it was YOU who have jumped in, repeatedly, to level personal attacks at me and keep this argument between us going?
The comment was _not_ made in passing. It was the most central point of your entire post. That is the point that you, as a player, obviously know more than the devs about what needs to be done to the game.

Quote:
You even went out of your way to do so, disregarding an entire post to extract just one sentence, just so you could perpetuate your animosity towards me as evidenced in many Posts and threads over the past months.
That personal animosity arises almost entirely from the poll you made several months ago, which you have yet to apologze for. Your continued attitude since then illustrates that my initial judgement of your character was correct.

Looked in the mirror lately regarding false veneers and inflammatory remarks? "Flaming is almost always deserved by people such as yourself."
What false veneer? I'm flaming you outright, instead of pretending to be civil and doing exactly the same thing.

Quote:
speaks for itself as the sort of posting that draws the attention of Moderators, along with your use of foul language in an earlier post.
What foul language? The word *******? If that damages your "too-sensitive sensibilities", or "rubbed you the wrong way", then I'll just remind you that "I don't believe in tap-dancing around issues or sugar-coating replies for ease of consumption."

If you have nothing useful to contribute to the subject of this thread, GD, then please shut up.
I could have contributed something to this thread, except that it would be wasted on someone who is so utterly convinced that they are right.

This is actually false. Many drugs exist to treat this ailment, including cyanide, arsenic, and strychnine.

Good point. BTW, you left out ethylene glycol (antifreeze), which is far easier to obtain.

It wasn't meant to be a comprehensive list, merely a short list of examples of drugs which are known to treat the aforementioned ailment. The actual list numbers in the thousands, which just goes to show how easily this can be treated.

Aside from the battle replay inconsistency, and a few things that could occasionally crash the hosting process, there were virtually no serious bugs on release, and still are almost none. Which is why I stated that it was virtually bug free.

Since y'all already said '*******', allow me to say 'Bull****'. Unless your definition of "bug", "serious bug" and "virtually bug free" are seriously out of whack with my score year as a software developer.

You're so negative. It's not a bug, it's a feature!

If I could add my own opinion amid your attacks against each other: I feel there is something fundamentally wrong with a game that causes free troops to be more harm then good. Perhaps the 'bug' is more an innate game play problem. Now, there’s no need to go beating me up for my opinion like you did to GD.
